I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 64 - 20: The Deity Who Became a Celestial Disaster
Fifteen minutes later, in the courtyard of the Li Family.
Li Boyang sat on a small stool, confronting Er Tu with a serious expression.
Chen Yun was busy in the kitchen nearby, with Li Jingshu obediently assisting her.
With the storm about to hit, Li Yu, as the head of the family, would surely return home early, plus the uninvited Er Tu.
Preparing meals for five people would definitely keep Chen Yun and Li Jingshu busy for a while.
"You say the Slave Capture Team from the Guifang Kingdom is just a few hundred miles away?"
"And the hurricane we see now is actually the incarnation of one of the Five Directions Gods—Heaven-Howling Clan?"
Even though he had long known the bizarre nature of this world,
Li Boyang couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he heard the hurricane was the incarnation of a God.
That big black dog imprisoned in the cave of Ghost God Cliff... had mentioned a similar existence?
"What’s so strange about that?"
"Not all Gods enjoy interacting with living beings, nor do they all wish to expose their weaknesses to humans."
Glancing at the shocked Li Boyang, Er Tu explained.
"A tangible body implies tangible weaknesses, while an intangible body implies a transcendent status..."
"Ordinary Gods might not achieve this, but Deities like the Five Directions Gods are evidently not ordinary."
Nodding in understanding, Li Boyang roughly grasped the meaning behind Er Tu’s words.
Unconsciously, Li Boyang even recalled the words of that big black dog in the cave of Ghost God Cliff.
It seems that one of the advanced states of a God is to transform oneself into a living natural phenomenon?
"Can I simply understand it as the Heaven-Howling Clan maintaining their prestige before believers by manifesting as a ’hurricane’?"
"After all, no matter how terrifying a tangible body is, it can’t compare to a real Celestial Disaster."
"Wait, is the Heaven-Howling Clan really voluntarily maintaining the current ’hurricane’ state?"
Upon hearing this, Er Tu tilted his head.
He felt that Li Boyang’s understanding was somehow off, yet he didn’t know how to refute it.
"As long as you get the point, it’s fine."
"Since the Heaven-Howling Clan has appeared, it means they have been utterly enraged."
"I want you to divine whether Granny is alive or dead now?"
As he said this, Er Tu unabashedly showed the worry on his face, a stark contrast to his usual carefree demeanor.
"What if my divination shows she’s still alive?"
After a brief contemplation, Li Boyang countered with this question.
"Are you planning to rescue her?"
"To become an enemy to a God capable of incarnating as a Celestial Disaster?"
To be honest, when Er Tu mentioned that Granny had gone off to confront the Slave Capture Team of the Guifang Kingdom, Li Boyang was shocked.
He couldn’t comprehend where the old witch teaching children in the Earth God Temple found the courage to challenge an army of ten thousand soldiers.
However, witnessing the manifestation of the hurricane and thunderstorm form of the Heaven-Howling Clan,
Li Boyang felt as though he had never truly understood Granny.
Not to mention, Li Boyang was now seriously questioning,
whether Granny had long noticed him secretly learning, which is why she began teaching from the simplest characters again.
"She saved my life, and she also taught me to gradually master my own talents and abilities."
Without even a hint of hesitation, Er Tu answered decisively.
"In your human terms, she is both my lifesaver and like a parent to me."
"Regardless of whether she’s alive now or not, I’ve already prepared to be an enemy to the Heaven-Howling Clan."
Words like overestimating oneself or ignorant of the greater powers could no longer describe Er Tu at that moment.
After all, his opponent was an authentic God capable of becoming a Celestial Disaster.
Yet no one would doubt the determination Er Tu showed.
Just as when ants move trees or a mantis tries to stop a carriage, they absolutely do not consider retreat.
To be righteously indignant, to dare to stand up with courage.
In this context, these phrases are never derogatory.
"You’ve said so, what else can I say?"
Staring at Er Tu for a long time, Li Boyang finally sighed in resignation.
"You are my friend, and she can be considered half my teacher, how could I stand by and do nothing?"
Hearing the implied meaning in Li Boyang’s words, Er Tu looked at him, both surprised and curious.

Yunmeng Mountain, Feilai Peak, Mountain God Temple.
"The Heaven-Howling Clan, is it?"
Standing at the highest point of Ghost God Cliff.
Xiluo squinted into the distance, her gaze flickering with an obscure and indefinable meaning.
The raging storm was slowly moving in this direction, leaving livestock dead and villages ruined in its wake.
"Do you plan to intervene?"
At this moment, a jade green bird landed on Xiluo’s back.
"Don’t forget how that witch died a thousand years ago. Overly meddling in the affairs between Gods is destined for a bad end."
Standing firm against the bird’s advice, Xiluo kept her eyes fixed in the direction the storm was advancing.
"Xiluo, you spent nearly a thousand years to barely escape death, don’t waste the witch’s sacrifice."
After spending so long with her, the Kingfisher naturally could see Xiluo’s underlying thoughts at a glance.
"Is this time for that ’Red Boy’?"
"You’ve always been so sentimental, but ’Red Boy’ doesn’t have the witch’s skills."
"In the end, they’re just short-lived beings that pass in an instant..."
"Don’t destroy the long life you’ve hard-won for their sake."
The Kingfisher’s words revealed the rules of interaction between Gods.
The grievances between Gods could involve wide-ranging consequences.
A slight error could result in a scorched earth and flooded lands.
In most cases, Gods remain cold bystanders to other Gods’ disputes, never intervening.
In fact, this was also a significant reason why none of the Hundred Lands Gods wanted to step forward during the last "Ghost God Incident."
Even if countless lives were lost, even if the ecosystem was devastated...
From a God’s perspective, everything would return to normal within a few centuries.
Why risk angering another immortal being for such trivial matters?
"If you really have high hopes for that ’Red Boy’ and wish for him to be your priest, bring him up the mountain!"
Seeing that his persuasion was utterly ineffective, the Kingfisher helplessly proposed another solution.
No matter how tyrannical the Heaven-Howling Clan was, they wouldn’t offend another God for the sake of a mere human.
As for the villages and humans below the mountain?
The Kingfisher could only hope they find their own fortunes and ways to survive.
"He wouldn’t agree..."
After a long while, Xiluo finally spoke.
"He’s even more naive than my sister, yet he works even harder..."
"He couldn’t possibly stand by and watch an inexplicable storm destroy his three years’ ’achievements.’"
"Besides, he helped me last time, so it’s my turn to help him now."
After saying that, Xiluo turned back to look at the Kingfisher on her back and asked solemnly.
"Did Granny have any message for you to bring this time?"
